RENAL CAT
- Mature cat with a renal failure
"A cat with renal failure has a very diminished appetite. A
specific diet must compensate for certain elements leaking
from the kidneys. It also has to control the contribution of
damaging elements and to limit the expansion of renal
lesions."
INDICATIONS
 Cat with chronic renal failure
 Cat with chronic hepatic failure

Cat with chronic cardiac failure
COUNTER INDICATIONS

Growing cat
 Gestating or lactating queen
 Cat with hypoproteinemia

HEALTH BENEFITS
Chronic renal failure – Chitosan + Arginine + Maritime pine polyphenols + Omega 3
essential fatty acids (fish and rape oils)
Chitosan, a purified extract of the shell of crustaceans, is a digestive chelator of
phosphate and nitrate by-products. It therefore contributes to lower concentrations of
phosphorus, urea and ammonia in the blood and helps preserve the kidney function.
Arginine is vital amino-acid in the protein catabolism (urea cycle) for which the centre
is the liver. Its high content allows to potentiate protein detoxication.
The purified extract of maritime pine is rich in polyphenols with anti-oxidant virtues. It
protects vessels and facilitates blood circulation.
Omega 3 essential fatty acids, precursors of molecules with anti-inflammatory,
vasodilatory and anti platelet aggregation virtues, contribute to improving
vascularisation and renal filtration and thus delay thechronic renal failure progress.
Chronic hepatic failure – Choline + Arginine
Choline, is a lipotropic factor: it protects hepatic cells from fatty degeneration. It
minimizes chronic hepatic failure.
Arginine is vital amino-acid in the protein catabolism (urea cycle) for which the centre
is the liver. Its high content allows to compensate a chronic hepatic failure.
NUTRITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
 High energy density, thanks to a high fat content, allows small volume
rations in cats with an often irregular appetite. Moreover, coated fats
contribute to an excellent palatability.

The precise protein contribution and proteins of high biological value help
combat uraemia and avoid overloading the hepatic metabolization process.
High soluble fibre content helps reduce nitrogen levels in the body.
Low phosphorus content helps combat hyperphosphatemia and protects the
renal function.
Unchanged levels of calcium help combat secondary hyperparathyroidism.
High potassium content compensates for renal leakage.
Low sodium content helps combat high blood pressure.
Richness in vitamin E, selenium and tomato lycopene, an anti-oxidant
complex, protects against cell ageing and helps curb vascular, cardiac and
renal lesions.
